Reply to comment by Zmoser1794 in NAACP Seeks Legal Relief from PA GOP Voter Suppression by Open_Veins_8

I don't think this one falls under both sides. It's really a matter of one side passing a law, then realizing the other side would enjoy its benefit too, and wanting to take it away. The other side is just standing there and saying "could you not?" Republicans wouldn't care about the law if dems weren't taking advantage of it.

For me, mailing in my vote means I can just work Tuesday and don't need to figure out when I'm going to vote. Voted a week ago, I'm good.

One side didn’t pass the law. It was passed with bipartisan support. Now it’s just a matter of following the law.

It was a GOP bill that had DEM support.

Since the GOP has controlled the PA Congress, no DEM bills get off the floor. Only GOP bills, and some of those get DEM support.

PA House has 113 Rs and 88 D

PA Senate has 28 Rs and 22 D

The bill passed the House 138 - 61 and 35 - 14.

It was then signed by a democrat governor.

That’s as bipartisan as you’re going to get. ⅓ of the Democrats plus the governor were in favor of the law. Who initiated the bill is irrelevant.
